Scope
Social content planning should make review and reuse easier without silently publishing, storing social OAuth tokens, or sending local drafts to hosted services.
For: WordPress site owners, WooCommerce marketers, agencies, and content teams preparing social content from site material.
- The free plugin does not publish, schedule, connect social OAuth accounts, or send drafts to Web Plura Cloud.
- Hosted Web Plura AI is not included in the free plugin.
- Instagram and TikTok flows are manual copy/post workflows.
Quick Start
Set up the workflow in a safe order
- Step 1
Install Social Draft Planner on the WordPress site that owns the source content.
- Step 2
Create a local draft from a post, page, WooCommerce product, public custom post type, URL, RSS item, or manual idea.
- Step 3
Set platform, campaign, status, planned time, review owner, due date, and review notes.
- Step 4
Preview link, media, hashtag, Open Graph, and X Card readiness before exporting or sharing.
- Step 5
Use Pro/Cloud only for verified managed AI, scheduling, publishing, account connection, quota, and status workflows.
Workflow
Setup and operating notes
Review Before Sharing
Use templates, source variables, hashtag groups, UTM presets, first-comment or follow-up text, local Open Graph and X Card checks, CSV/JSON exports, and manual Share It links.
Understand External Calls
External URL/RSS imports fetch administrator-entered URLs, Share It opens selected platforms in the browser, and optional local AI uses loopback or self-hosted endpoints when configured.
